Strong growth has been predicted for the UK online casino sector, owing to a lack of restriction on the industry coupled with the wide availability of high-speed broadband.

Dave England, a spokesperson from OnlineGaming4U, believes the industry will benefit from relaxed advertising laws and the continued rapid growth of broadband Internet access across the UK:

'Since the latest gambling legislation was introduced, the industry in the UK has seen a dramatic rise in value and traffic. Online casinos based in the UK are performing well, and the competition between them is hotting up, resulting in better offers and sign-up bonuses for customers.

'With broadband Internet access becoming almost universally available over the last few years, online gambling in the UK has enjoyed steady growth, and we predict this will continue for the foreseeable future. The only difficulty now for consumers lies in choosing the best online casinos, and finding the best welcome bonuses available.”
